Stihl MS 250

Advantages: power!!!!!! after 180 which already 6 years this saw itself saws! no effort itself bites into the wood and the power grabs her to do!

Disadvantages: the tire is short well and the price is still expensive

Comment: I am completely satisfied with the saw; I bought my father in exchange for 180; I think it was not for nothing that I overpaid!

Advantages: STIHL !!!!!! Made In Germani !!! Excellent launch system without extra buttons, levers and primers .... What else to say ....

Disadvantages: Opaque tanks for oil and gasoline. Inside the tanks, in places gluing disgusting nodules of plastic. It looks frighteningly like some kind of samopal (maybe it was I who got such a copy, but maybe it is for everyone). After Calm 180, which has worked for 10 years (and is now working, but weak and plus a decrease in power over time), there is a very strong vibration. Maybe the shock absorbers haven't been developed yet ... we'll see. The first time I was tortured to start. The reason was the implicit start time with suction. On the 180-ke, it was 3 times jerked, yanked, stalled, switched 2 times jerked, it started. At 250 I simply did not notice this and continued to pull until I poured the candle, with all the consequences. Over time, I got used to this implicitness and the problems with the plant did not become. Stink exhaust is not weak. Rumbles is not childish (compared to 180) Although idle sounds very nice .... even a bit like the sound of Harley Davidson ////

Comment: Great weight. Good power. I am glad that there is no need to lubricate the tire. I put a calm chain with a win (with a 180-chain fit) and happy !!! For some reason, my soul is always located to calm, even with all the flaws. Calm is the Best. At first I bought Husqvarna 445 - everything seems to be fine and it starts up perfectly and it stinks less and there is almost no vibration, but the weight is much more, the sprocket has a clutch outwards (you change the chain), a lot of buttons and levers just pissed me off. Plus turns off in another stranu than calm, always confused. Sold I bought a 250-ku. Satisfied!!!! Calm 250 is an excellent working tool for building and in everyday life. More and not necessary.

Advantages: lightweight, powerful, comfortable, low weight, availability of a specialized service with any a / c, 40cm tire

Disadvantages: it starts from 6-7 times to a cold one, to a hot one with a half-kick, the tire gets very hot, a year after the purchase the chain tensioning mechanism broke where the screwdriver is inserted (I bought it when I bought it for 300 rubles, I changed it myself), but these are trifles.

Comment: bought in the spring of 2014 for almost 17000r especially for an elm stall about 16m high and a little more than a meter in diameter with the ground. (they wanted to call the company first, they came, they looked, nobody agreed about 12,000, so they decided to buy it). All the elm was cut into 30 mm long coaches with a help of a rented tower for half a day. for the season of the 15th year that they didn’t just saw - relics for the eyes. very pleased with the purchase. THING!!!
I love a good tool!

Advantages: Today I became the owner of this saw and decided to roll in immediately, without straining the saw with breathers, sawed about 3 cubes of birch wood. What can I say saw a new brutal compression, start up with one or two jerks. reacts well to gas, when sawing a tree of larger diameter turns do not fall gasoline is enough for a long time. Easy to find consumables, (chains, blades, asterisks)

Disadvantages: Oil for lubrication of the chain is poorly supplied, it is necessary to re-gas and wait for the chain to cool. I would like a longer painting
After a month of daily operation, a vibration appeared, and the idle speed increased.

Comment: 1.5 years have passed since the purchase of the saw, I saw it from spring to December. Chain oil is diluted with diesel or pour a clean hydraulic chain and the tire stopped boiling. Starts with 3-4 jerks, From repair: change the clutch sprocket, 1 time per week blow the saw my air filter net lubricates the clutch bearing. Saw almost like a new recommend!

Advantages: Convenient to change and tighten the chain (unlike partner and huksvarny)
Original fuel and oil tank caps.
Motor Resource.

Disadvantages: The gasket between the muffler and the cylinder is burnt (after 2-3 years of operation). The hose is torn. it's all the little things.

Comment: I have two of them !!!!!! I have been using for about five years, in the year I saw 250-300 cubes of birch firewood, each. Not let down never. Friends switched to similar devices. Do not fill the test and the spindle in the oil tank - diesel with a bang, gasoline diluted with original oil.

Advantages: Sawing and sawing ... :) I bought 6 years ago for 11000. I wanted to buy MS180, but I bought this one and did not regret it ... power reserve with not very sharp (dull) chains oh, how important it is :))) it is easy to saw wood 25 cm in diameter, provided that there is a living chain. with a dull and chipped chain, too, which is surprisingly sawing, the benefit of power is enough, but no longer by a stroke not like a hot knife in butter ... Sawing a dry starch larch with a dull chain, sparks fly smoke, but it saws! nothing broke ... chains, oil and gasoline ... chains only I always buy chains ...
The build quality is at a height, the German assembly ... good sturdy plastic, forgives careless handling, strikes and falls from a height ... starts in any frost, sawed even at -43 ... in the summer sawed for hours in the heat, does not overheat ...

Disadvantages: It does not always start up the first time, there is no fuel pumping, but this is corrected by pressing the "gas" 3-5 times before starting ...

Comment: Sawed three hundred old sleepers, several KamAZ sawn timber, a couple of hundred thick birch trees, an old wooden house and outbuildings for firewood, built a new house (sawed all materials only calm) about 60 cubic meters of forest, and of bushes in the garden, etc. p .... for a chain lubricant pour m8v or any clean engine oil, and at least diesel ... only two-stroke gasoline in the proportions indicated on the canister by the manufacturer ...
A real work saw, not a toy like MS180! I see no reason to buy more and more powerfully, because there will be more weight, and when you drank for 10 hours in a row, this one also seems heavy ... although it depends on what to buy ... :) for the house and construction just right! I wanted to buy a bigger tire right away, but I didn’t buy it and don’t intend to, the standard length is enough for all my tasks ... very thick birch trees once a year, and to dump and saw a tree with a diameter of 60-80 cm.
In short, the saw delivers only positive emotions, the main thing is to get started quickly :))

Advantages: Easy, powerful. Starts with a half turn, an adequate price.

Disadvantages: Not yet discovered.

Comment: I planted after Huskvarna 240 for sawing trees with a diameter of 25 to 50 cm. I must say, the tool even surpassed my expectations — trunks (oak, birch) up to 35 cm thick. Saws without problems. Thinner-cuts like hot butter knife. If we talk about performance, then in an hour and a half I cut 2 birch trees about 16m long. I am very pleased with the purchase.

Advantages: Build quality, usability, weight.

Disadvantages: Pay attention to the quality of gasoline and oil.
Keep better in a heated room.If stored in an unheated room due to condensation there may be problems at start-up (or it may not start at all)

Comment: Bought in 2003 for 11 thousand rubles. Very expensive for so many years.
Not a little forest she knocked down, sawn wood. Surprisingly, the saw has still not broken anything.

Advantages: Lightweight, comfortable, powerful enough. Assembly - Germany. Adequate carburetor, the standard settings are listed in the instructions. Economical ematic lubrication system, consumes about 0.15 l of oil for a gasoline mixture tank (0.47 l). Convenient access to the air filter, winter-summer bar and a candle. Internal clutch, which greatly simplifies cleaning the crankcase and replace the chain. The gear emphasis is included in the standard package. Great start.

Disadvantages: A bit short regular shinka. Requires a more thorough cleaning of the bushes because of the ematic system.

Advantages: Easy small

Disadvantages: Spanking undetected. Let's see what will happen next.

Comment: Bought into the family, mostly sawing firewood, when to dump the Christmas tree. After looking at the reviews in the Internet doubt it is necessary to take STHIL. The choice was between 180, 210, 250, 270, it was certainly possible to take 180 reviews about it mostly worthy, but there were doubts whether there was enough power, and the price of 7,000 shuropovert costs 5000, it turns out quite an amateur tool. I wanted something more powerful, and the purchase was serious and for a long time, began to choose between 210 and 250, the difference in price was 1000 rubles, and in power there was a difference of 210-2 liters. p. 250-3 l. with. They brought me to the village, my father grumbled that they had bought such an expensive one, he wanted somewhere around 7000 r. - 180, refueled, poured oil. It started up without problems. Taking the father in his hands, he didn’t let out the saw, sawed and sawed, liked it, but the difference with the friendship is obvious, firstly the weight with gasoline is about 5 kilograms, you don’t have tapes and utopiteli, and keep it comfortable, turn the canvas inappropriately, turned the saw itself and drank across. Having drank the father said that they say friendship and in his hands after this take is not a hunt. Saws sawed well, gassed and sawed the log to the end, piled the old apple tree, sawed it, and its wood was hard, everything was easily cut.
Now, in order to cut firewood, it is not necessary to be steamed, it will not start, it starts up, drank a little bit for pleasure. Naturally, Friendship can be brought to mind, so that there are no problems with starting up and sawing well, but the production of modern saws has already reached decent levels, the technology has been worked out, everything that can be thought out, the shortcomings are eliminated.
